ABOUT COLLARS.
arks of Man's First Step Toward
Civilization.
There is much virtue in a collar,
any philosophers believe' that it is
ic real distinct ion between a haririau
and a civilized being", but this
going a little to far, tor the idea
f the collar is evident even in priniivc
man. Those are nearer the
lark ?vho say that the real qualifi11ion
of a gentleniaii?one more inerent
than birth, breeding, or the
ighi to bear arms?is the ability to
a clean collar without looking
Conspicuous. I bit all are agreed that
Aian without a collar is a poor thing,
, ,i}id 'that unless he has one of the
stfet in vogue fe>r the time being he
is\?aelly lacking in dignity, and a
ptifteible burglar e?r pickpe?cket. All
through history, with one remarkable
gap, the collar has been the sign of
1 the superior person, one e?f the insig
ilia eif authority and the mark which

| when to wear a collar was to be an
1 oxc,option.
Man's first real step forward toward
civilization was tlio assumption
- oT a collar. It is true that tin* eariv
collar was made of a necklace, and
ilia.t it was mailt* of teeth or cowrie
shells, the teeth being the spoils ol
some enemy, .such as a man of another
tribe, or a wild beast which it was
a credit to have killed. And it is a
s curious thing that the nock should
> have been the first part of the body
- to be decorated. It comes before the
i head, with the band of grass, or hide.
, into which feathers were stuck', and
1 which evolved into the crown in one
? direction and into the hat in the oth;
or. It conies before the wrists, on
j which bangles have developed into
I bracelets and the kindred cuffs; bcj
fore the waist and long before the
fingers. It was this primitive instinct
C for adorning the neck that led the
p African chieftain to reject all other
? forms of European raiment and to
> bedeck himself with the paper col)
lar of the wandering white man. And
. the more important a man became the
> greater was the number <?f strings of
' shells or teeth that he put round his
I neck, until he became as swathed as
| I'eau Brunnncl or the I'rince Kegent.
Hand no doubt as dignified. lint then
eomes the curious gap in history. The
| ancient civilizations were n?>; habi\
Iua 1 collar wearers: but tliaj was probably
because they 1 i\"? ? 1 round about
. the Mediterranean. where it is too
, | hot to wrap up i'w neck., and because
. they looked on m as a barbarous
. tiling to do, a habit to be left t > the
; outlandish tribes. In fact, the l.aby.
onians, ft reeks and lionians classed
, collars with trousers -as things which
no one hul a barbarian would wear.

II suddenly in the Middle Ages in the
, form of the ruff, which \vas m
, have been invented to hide
ii scar on some royal personage *s
neck. Tt reached its height in Elizabethan
times, and then sank down into
the htve collar of the cavalier, and
starched and plain linen of the I'uri,
tan. In Georgian days the collar
was merged in the stock, only to come
to the front again in Hyronic times,
when the poet wore the turneddown
collar, which almost proclaimed its
wearer a free-thinker. Next came
the. Regency collar, with its folds upon
folds of cravat, which was worn in
a modified form by old gentlemen
even in the seventies, though twenty
years before smart young men in London
had worn a small' all-round, just
like that which is known today as
the 'military." Then in the sixties
there was a painful lapse into t.he Hyronic
collar, which for some reason
or another was called the "Shakespeare,

still collar has reigned supreme.
with such little eccentricities
as turned down corners and butterfly
fronts: though of la.te it has been
threatened by the double collar, variously
known as the "Roddy Owen''
or t.lie "Barmaid." By all the rules,
df a single collar adds dignity to the
wearer, a double collar should increase
that dignity, but this is not
the case. Tn fact, it is one of the
mysteries of collardom that the wearing
of a double collar in evening dresr
is a hideous and inexpiable crime.
The gr-at thing about a cellar, that
which gives it ijs importance, is its
aloofness from the coat. A coat-collar
has no dignity, and is merely a
fraud, pretending to be that which it
is not. I he true collar must lit* sovereign
and independent: it must encircle
the neck justly, and 'neither
hang round it like a necklace, nor
compress it. like a boaeonstrictor.
And, above and beyond all, it must

How Birds Soar.
Experiments recently carried out
iu France have already set aeronauts
to working on 'an entirely new line
of thought in connection with the
problem of" flight. Interest has been
diverted from compact engines of exceptional
power to i he quest ion of
general construction and wind resistance.
Many aeronauts believe that
the successful flying machines of the
near future will not require a highpower
engine.
The whole question has been thoroughly
discussed before the French
Academy of Science. It was shown
by <aotunl experiment Mini a heavy
object with no motor of its own c-an
not only he sustained by 'the wind,
but can even advance against the
wind. The experiment had been inspired
by long observation of soaring
birds.
The experiments of M. Mawitz
! Deprez. which undoubledlv will make
an epoch in the history of mechanical
flight, are extremely simple. 11? u*'|
